Well, Elizabeth, Greta and I have been trying to use up our supplies instead of continuing on our spend spend spend habits, so we came up with the idea to give each other a challenge a week.Something that will inspire us.And keep us on somewhat of a budget.And force us to use what we got!

Last week we each came up with a challenge.Yes, three challenges in one week!It wasn't hard for a change because I had off on Friday, but from now on we are alternating turns and only doing one a week.Too many challenges and one of us will quit pretty fast.(I'm referring to myself!)

My challenge last week:Use Holiday themed paper for a Non-Holiday layout.Everybody buys holiday papers, Halloween, Christmas, Easter, Valentine's Day...then it sits and waits for that holiday to roll around again!Well, no more.Use up that paper.Here are a couple of examples to get you motivated!Mine:Elizabeth'sGreta's is coming, poor girl has been a sick puppy for about a week now.

So...Join us!If you are not a scrapper...Try a card.Ever make a card with Christmas paper that wasn't a Christmas card??Why not try!If you play along...let me know, I'd love to see what you do.

OK...IM IN!!....after all...I am doing my own PERSONAL 365 challenge..and I will do the "killing two birds with one stone technique" as I use it up.....I will keep you abreast!!( chicken...turkey....whatever bird you choose!)

Very cool challenge , and i love your layouts ! They are great. Geesh, i soooooo need to use some of my stash, i have a SERIOUS scrap product addiction, my friend Jeanette and i both agree that we dont know how to stop ! And we enable each other too which is equally horrible ! lol .... Maybe i will join the fun !
